Wittgenstein and My Old Kentucky Home

“Ludwig Wittgenstein came up at the Kentucky Derby?” Spence says.

“Most certainly,” says Admin. “Bob Costas asked the winning owner, J. Paul Reddam, for his thoughts, specifically as a former philosophy professor at USC. And Reddam instantly gave this summary of Wittgenstein and how it applied to him – ‘After all the philosophical problems have been solved, nothing will have been accomplished, so we decided to get into horse racing.'”

Greetings from Kanab, Utah! We are here in God’s country, and as always, it is spectacular.

Bella, I stuck my head out the window as we drove through St. George and yelled ‘Hallo’ to Coach and Bev, but they didn’t answer. They must have been watching the Ironman race. There were so many detours that by the time we finished wandering around, the quilt shop was closed.

The Super Moon rose as we drove through the red rocks leading out of Zion.

ooooo, Wölfie’s Mom. I hope you guys had a camera. I’m putting the pictures from last night in the computer as I write.

Patsy is having a blast. Last night the moon and cheese . . this morning Zoë and I took Ellie and Patsy to the river. They loved it. Got down into the Newfie inlet up to their chests and wagged their tails. Five minutes later they were ready to go in and have a nap. They are doing that right now. The rest of the Pack was not pleased.

Happy Sunday All!
Thanks for the beautiful pictures taken by Melanie, and by those posted by Bee. We especially love the one of the guy ruding his horse under the full moon…Mom loves to do that too. We didn’t get to see or howl at the moon here. It was way too overcast. Drat.
We are going to have another busy day outdoors today. More weeds to kill and/or pull and outdoor speakers to hook up, and other stuff like that. Then we are off on some errands for good cheese, good wine, and the Grand Opening of a new place called The Dawg Store. Talk to you all much much later.

Super Moon…More like Super Bummed here. I tried to wake Nana up, but she insisted there was too much cloud cover to see anything. A lot she knows! (what about that great photo someone took a county over from here? Hmmm?)

B: Thank you for the great link to pictures around the world.

Melanie: Super Photos of your Mountains, Patsy and the Super Moon. Thank Dog one of the Plunderers was on the ball!

Wolfie Your mom is not only off on a Great Road Trip, she even got to see that Spectacular Full Moon Rising.

Thanks for all the beautiful photos of the Super Wolf Moon, especially since I am related to one who refuses to do photos. Our favorite is the one with Patsy in it.
We saw the moon again this morning before it got light.

B. – Sammie has the right idea because her girl has two more exams and doesn’t come home until Tuesday. We’re bringing everything except her clothes and bedding. Her dorm room is on the 4th floor and we have a small refrigerator and a Red Bull refrigerator to move, along with lots of other stuff. It could be easy for a small white dog to be overlooked in all this.

We’re cracking up here,Melanie. Some typos end up being good jokes. Speaking of horses, Shiek wants to be sure everyone knows he has vacated the quilt. Also all 5 of our horses are sharing a pasture finally, beginning yesterday. So we can finally rotate pastures as we are supposed to do. There are still some chasing and hijinx going on, but this time it is Ned with the upper hand. Thanks to the fact that he has so firmly bonded with Mom’s Annie who is the Queen Bee Mare. Annie runs atight ship out there. She is the toughest of the herd, yet the sweetest of all.

Baseball!…The Rockies are playing this afternoon….sniff!…Someone is torn – should she watch the replay game tonight and work on yet another project, or should she stop and enjoy this Sunday afternoon watching her team beat the Braves…snort!…I know what I am going to do…heh!…Pass me that couch pillow…grunt!

Drive the 4 hours. Rest the rest of the day Thursday, Friday morning and afternoon have fun, Friday at 5 starts the rehearsal, then the dinner. Saturday is planned by the minute!!!

Sunday I take pictures of FOTAS (who will then be GLAD) having fun in her wedding dress. YSAS, OTAS and a friend will be the entourage. I have some beautiful material, and two different umbrellas to use as props.

Photos!…I don’t know, she says the projects never look very good in the photographs…sniff!…She is happy when she looks at them in person though…grunt!…The next one is going to be Red! Very red and some green. …heh!

MMMMM!…The semi-homemade spaghetti sauce is smelling good!…snort!…If we ever do another cook book she will submit this easy recipe…heh!…Although, everyone already has their favorite sauce recipes I bet…grunt!

Melanie!…I forgot to mention how much I love love love that photo of Patsy sitting in the meadow with the beautiful hills behind her…snort!…My friend wishes she could get a photo of Beau and I sitting together in that meadow…sniff!…Or anywhere in fact…heh!

Barb is back. Had a lovely time with the Grands, plus two extras that were staying with Kelly and Chad for a few days while their parents went to Brussels. They were great kids too, extremely well behaved, so it was nice.

Got home and did some quick clean up to get ready for the real estate lady who is coming tomorrow at 9:00 for an evaluation.

Pysch!…Oh my! This show is cracking us up tonight….heh!snort!heh!…It is the one with French Stewart from Third Rock From The Sun…ohhhh!…I loved that guy back then and he is still hilarious…snort!…Wonder what he’s been up to since then. Perfect for him to show up on Pysch…heh!

Rio: I’m here. Somewhat. Don’t stop posting. Your friend has really out done herself. I can’t believe she is able to make the projects so quickly. I need to get working on Snowhook things for the MMSD.

Melanie: You’ve gone to bed, but you’ll have a response in the morning. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Wolfie’s Mom: I bet Coach and Bev heard you call out for them, but got caught up in the rerouting of traffic for the Ironman. If you are heading back through St. George on your way home you should stop for a show at Tuacan.

AJ is outside repairing our deck that was damaged when the snow slid from our roof. He is sniffling, sneezing, coughing, cutting, sawing and hammering. The awning over our front door also collapsed when the snow fell.

More to Rio: Psych is one of our favorite shows. We watch it online or on DVD. I think the cast was well chosen.

Mom here, don’t like to type on iPaw. We are on the Gulf Coast with my mom. It is a pretty little town called Rockport. We plan to put in some serious goofing off time for the next few days. We hope to find a real beach tomorrow as so far all is rocky coast which I should have figured from the name. Not sure if Macy will be checking in or not as she has Holly and Biddie over for the week.

Melanie your hills are mountains to us flatlanders! Love the Patsy pic.

Rio: We just finished the second Boardwalk Empire DVD. Have yet to spot McKey. Can’t remember if he is in the first season or the second.
It does seem like your Friend is turning out these latest projects faster than usual.

SnowBella: Sorry about you and the Giant not feeling well, what with all the usual chores to do, plus repairs from the winter storms. Not fun.

Barb&Magpie: Good luck with the new realtor tomorrow.

Off to grab a late snack, then do some reading before bed.
See youse on the flip side – Bear

Time!…Blog time is deceiving…sniff!….Just like this long weekend, GONE!…grunt!…Already gone and tomorrow someone has to go back to the busy-place, which she is not looking forward to…sniff!…I wish there was someway she never had to go there again…wuffle!
